Software update killed my mac! Help!

Hi all, a few probs here which I know have been discussed in the past but I tried previous suggestions and sadly no joy.

I'm running a G3 Yosemite at 450mhz with half gig of ram. I only use it for browsing and as a jukebox basically to update my ageing 1st gen ipod. Now I know the fella's old and tired but it ran like a dream for my purposes right up until I recently installed the latest OSX and Itunes updates. Since this point itunes point blank refuses to open and general operation is rather slower than it used to be.

Now I know many have had issues with this and I took advice from a number of very helpful folk in an attempt to reinstall an older version of itunes. I believe the new one requires a minimum 600mhz processor or something, which Obviously I do not have. (a quick system check by the software prior to install would've been a boon, as I have mine set to update automatically so I had no idea what I was getting into!)

AAAAnyway, I succesfully reinstalled the version of itunes I used to have and still it will not run. I just repeatedly get the itunes has quit message. I am utterly furious with apple because despite several official appeals for help I have had no reply. Why have they killed my computer? I am now left with an ipod I cannot update, and a mac which seems to want a zimmer frame.

Please please help me! I am on the brink of pulling my hair out!

Victor.

First, create a new account and see if iTunes works on there. A new account has a clean set of iTunes preferences and iTunes folder. If that works, you can go about seeing if the problem is in the iTunes preferences, or library. If it doesn't work.. well, then you've got a bigger problem.
